Cosmetic Sugerical Procedures For Men:
Body Contouring:
1. Male Breast Reduction ( Gynaecomastia) :
Overdeveloped breast tissue in men can be a result of being overweight, or having lost weight. Or it could be the growth of underlying breast tissue. This is particularly common in boys going though puberty, but will often disappear by the age of 18. It is important therefore that your consultant establishes the underlying reasons for the condition before proceeding with surgery. During the operation your surgeon will make an incision under your arm or around your nipple. Excess skin and tissue is removed, and sometimes liposuction is performed to remove excess fat.

2. Penile Implants For Erectile Dysfunction: Patients who attempt but dislike or fail to achieve satisfactory results with pills, suppositories, vacuum devices or injections, are counseled about penile implant surgery if they are interested in pursuing further treatment. It is important that all patients receive appropriate preoperative education concerning risks and benefits of the procedure. This discussion should cover the operation, the frequency and ramifications of potential complications and a discussion regarding appropriate expectations following surgery. The patients are advised that the prosthesis will allow them to achieve a rigid erection on demand and will likely have little effect on their libido and will not lengthen their penis.

3. Male Genital Cosmetic Surgery: Penis length and size enlargement is becoming a more and more frequent request to urologists and plastic surgeons. Testicular implants can simply and aesthetically assist in cases of loss or the lack of development of one or both testicles. Besides the actual cosmetic handicap, these cases can also cause secondary psychological problems and feelings of inferiority in affected men. Usually these are young men, so when the surgical procedure is requested and technically possible, it can be done. Based on availability, harmlessness and the quality of testicular prostheses this procedure should be offered at every experienced plastic surgical clinic.

4. Male Buttock Augmentation: Buttock enlargement, or buttock augmentation, allows men with flat or poorly developed buttocks to enhance and shape the area to their liking. Our patients say their clothes fit better, they feel more attractive, and their confidence levels are greatly improved with a fuller shaped derriere. Fat grafting uses excess fat from other areas of the body, which act as donor sites. The donor sites include the abdomen, hips, back or thighs to add shape to the buttocks. The fat cells are delicately removed with a gentle liposuction technique, and then inserted through small incisions into different layers of the buttocks. This method is more natural than the alternative - buttock implants.

5. Male Body Sculpting: "Body Sculpting" is a general term for a range of cosmetic procedures that can reshape the body by removing or manipulating fat, skin, and muscle to create a more fit physique. Men of all ages are using Body Sculpting to attain their desired appearance. Body sculpting, also called body contouring, includes liposuction, abdominoplasty (or tummy tuck), and trunk and thigh lifting - which are the most popular body contouring procedures for men. These procedures are intended to remove excess skin and fat from troublesome areas of the body, such as the stomach or thighs, giving you the sculpted body that diet and exercise has refused to yield.

6. Male Hair Transplants: The most common and most reliable surgical treatment for hair loss and Balding is Hair Transplantation. With the advent of minigrafts and micrografts,hair transplantation can produce very natural results. The basis for hair transplantation is that when hair is taken from donor areas where hair continues to be abundant, such as the back of the head and is planted in areas of hair loss, the transplanted hair will take on the characteristics of the donor area and will continue to grow.

7. Facial Cosmetic Surgery: There are several facial cosmetic surgeries available for men whether you want to improve your skin, emphasize or minimize facial features, or eliminate the early signs of aging. Most common are Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Plasty) which correct excess skin and fat around the upper and lower eyelids for a rejuvenated, youthful appearance; Botox Injections which target frown lines, forehead creases and "crow's feet"; Cheek Augmentation to enhance flattened cheeks with specially designed implants that are placed over the cheek bones; Chin Augmentation; Rhinoplasty; Face and Forehead (Brow Lift); Otoplasty or Ear Surgery; Glycolic Acid Peels to improve skin texture with our natural, non chemical peels; Laser Resurfacing to resurface the face using laser beam technology to correct lines, creases, acne scars and blemishes; Collagen injections to regain your youthful appearance; Face rejuvenation treatment to rejuvenate your face - reduce wrinkles and signs of aging with Hylaform®.

8. Laser Hair Removal: Unwanted facial or body hair is quickly becoming a thing of the past with laser hair removal techniques. Using this technique you can eliminate undesired hair from all parts of the body. Permanent hair removal is what the metrosexual man is opting for! Skin doctors specialising in dermatology concede that the number of men coming to them, wanting to get rid of body hair through laser hair removal technique is on the rise. Doctors say the results of the procedure in men differ from women because of high testosterone levels. Laser hair removal caters to hair in your ears that you don’t want; unwanted hair on your back and/or upper arms; your hair in all the wrong places and lack of hair on your head. It also can be used to reshape your beard or goatee.
